JOSEPH B. SPROWLS DEAN School of Pharmacy To the Members of the Class of 1960: This is indeed an auspicious year; for even as you step off into a new phase of your existence, so does the School of Pharmacy enter a new era with the introduction of the five-year course of instruction. May we both find that the background of training and experience which has brought us to this point has made us equal to the challenge which lies ahead. Faculty members will recall the Class of 1960 as one of the most outstanding. Your scholarship has generally been of a superior nature, and you have permitted instructors to achieve teaching goals which were previously not possible. We have no fears, therefore, with respect to your technical competency; we know that you are all capable of practicing pharmacy with technical efficiency. There is a fear which gives me, as your Dean, and others of the faculty much concern—a fear that you may succumb to the “virus of moral degradation. The world which you enter is a troubled place—a financially unstable, politically uncertain, morally unmotivated, metastable morass. Unless you are strong in your convictions and courageous in your actions, you will find it very easy to fall into careless, slipshod. unethical, jjerhaps even dishonest practices. Our profession deserves more than this from you. Treat it with respect ami you will gain respect. Keep your profession as free from fault as you would your own home, so that you may always look to it with pride. Maintain your ethical standards at the same high level as your technical competency, then not only vour alma mater but all the members of your profession can look upon you with favor. I hope that these thoughts may have some value to you as you journey down that pleasant road which lies ahead and which seems to lead only to success. Sincerely yours, Joseph B. Sprowls Dean 7
